| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DY.{F R Danby}) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}) Copy to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WCR. ORIGINAL R4/M19.5.30. CENTEAL OILING AND SHOCK DAMPERS. x3806 x7520 x5520, With reference to the modifications to the central oiling and the shock dampers, we find that the defect is only likely to occur in the front shock dampers, and the modification is already in hand for taking the lubrication from the axle, and so cut off the shock damper shaft entirely, and this will be right for the cars with the central oiling carried on to the axles.
